This morning’s note to say all’s well.
Our love rings true, clear as a bell.
The past’s behind and some was hell.
Our flip-side sounds sweet. No need to dwell.

A sunrise missed and my mind’s askew.
Coffee and pencil’s here, but I know not what to do.
My darling sleeps while this morning I write.
And this world awakens from dreams of last night.
I’ve thoughts of love and work, the when and past.
But now the coffee’s cold, cos our time goes fast.
Then scribbled words on the page appear.
Or some cloudy premonitions clearly I fear.
This day’s unsure and maybe more rain.
Thought always we know the sun rises again.

This day’s not yet done.
And tomorrow has begun.
Then the next day it will be.
And you will be with me.

Notes scribbled through the night.
Dreams of you make mornings bright.
Sunrise awakened, I see the light.
Our time together, all is right.

Where a river meets a bay,
a quaint sheltered village lay.
Ships of yore still ply the docks.
A tiny lighthouse warns of rocks.
Haunting sounds linger on the breeze.
Shanties of old still to please.
Times bygone we’ve all to explore.
The past opens today’s unknown door.
Nights brighter compared to the then.
Our days shorter way back when.
Yesterday’s preserve tomorrows map.
Horizons calm or a trap.

The future awaits your love song,
so I’ll keep writing, it won’t be long.
It’ll be the story of a lucky guy.
He looked to the heavens and given the sky.
His clouds paint murals of contemplation.
The wind whispers melodic inspiration.
In the dark of night visions now clear and bright.
The day’s sunlight consumed by your sight.
Sunrise’s more vibrant as each new day begins.
Sunsets shared and this lucky guy wins.

Feelings of perfection I love so much,
we both smile when our bodies touch.
We laugh and talk into the night,
our eyes twinkle with delight.
She purrs sometime when we kiss.
My heart roars feeling bliss.

Another perfect weekend, how can that be true.
Yet every day is brighter when they’re shared with you.
I have not a clue what the future has in store.
But every moment together leaves me wanting more.

Time’s always trying.
But better to try and fail,

Tomorrows are full of wonder.
The past reflects blunder.
Our time’s together delightful.
The future’s predictably wonderful.

Dreaming of the future always looks bright.
Nightmares of tomorrows haunt most every night.
Memories of the past guide us every day.
Plans for the now slowly slip away.
Time’s unpredictable, every second’s new.
Unknowns are less freighting when life’s shared by two.

I write tomorrows today,
reflections of yesterday.
Tomorrows are gray.
Infinity’s at play.
~
Dreams of forever sway.
Fears of never slay.
Time’s past words belay.
Memories linger, oft betray.
~
Knowing not what’s the way.
Feeling feelings have a say.
Tomorrow’s path forks today.
Only now is here to stay.

Hello’s stronger.
Goodbye’s longer.
Lips longingly meet,
reluctantly retreat.
Time will test,
fortitude or rest.
Time’s between,
future’s seen.
In eyes of green,
no space between.

In time we grow, in time we know.
Starts are slow with patience flow.
Love makes us glow, best to bestow.
It’s time to go, till time says no.

Lovely is she who walks with me.
We’ve days of joy and nights by the sea
The pasts costly, the now is to be.
Life’s grand when love is free.

I saw today my baby’s new start.
Her journey forward, lives of love, joy and art.
Now hand in hand fulfilling needs,
on this grassy aisle the future leads.
With a tear moms and dads share,
we part with one to make this pair.
And in this moment two worlds align,
a daughter’s yours and a son is mine.
Yes, I saw today,
two who each adores.
And with forever love and peace,
congratulations to you and yours.

Too precious is time to feel blue.
Days blend brighter with hues of two.
As lovers and the best of friends,
our moments as one, a shade of no ends.

First kisses, awkward and sweet,
blissful sensations from head to feet.
Lips part and glazed eyes meet.
Second kisses, our forever treat.

Distance divides, in hearts no space.
My place felt on her glowing face.
Time’s seen in loving eyes.
Equals together, emotion multiplies.

Our tall ship sails to horizons unknown.
Cool breezes guide, randomly blown.
Tides rise and fall, emotions thrown.
Waves plunder, our hulls moan.
Lost at sea we’re never alone.

Pick’s in hand, sticks in mind,
harps guide in words I find.
Inspiration meets, greets and fleets.
Hearts feel souls on streets.
Vibrations good, silence strange.
Eyes flicker, scenes change.
A world of waves: hellos, goodbyes.
Exuberance crashes laughs with cries.
Future’s run forward, stepping away.
Winnings cost, losses sway.
Pencil’s sharp to fill the gray.
F M, I’ll beat another day.

I’m too old to be a rock star,
too young to drive a big car.
With a Bugs Bunny brain and body of Fudd,
both barrels blaze, half’s a dud.
In my high fidelity cartoon I animate,
pages fanned, notes came late.
Rhythm’s slowed, meter’s now feet,
when the song remains the same chapter’s complete.
Yet I’ve albums to fill and records to break,
while my quill gently weeps for time I ache.
